How Does Alcohol Affect
the World of a Child?
 

Ask Yourself...
 
 

As Parents

• Do you know how to discuss alcohol use with your child and where to get information to help you?

• Do you know your child’s friends, and do you feel that they provide positive influences on your child’s activities?

• Do you know the extent of drinking by children in your neighborhood and how to find local organizations that are working on the issue?

• Do you know the legal consequences if your child is caught drinking alcohol?

As Teachers, Administrators, and School Counselors

• Has your school or community assessed student drinking to determine the extent of the problem?

• Do you know what factors may be contributing to student drinking in your school or community, (e.g., easy access to alcohol, peer pressure, adults’ inability to address the issue)?

• Do you know what steps, if any, are being taken within your school system to help kids resist the pressure to drink?

• Is your school currently working to educate parents about alcohol use among children?

• Does your school have an active partnership with the families of your students?

As Concerned Citizens

• Do you know how easily children in your community can obtain alcohol and what communities can do to prevent access to alcohol by young people?

• Does your community have educational programs and policies to prevent children from drinking?

• Does your community have "alcohol-free" activities for families? If not, do you know how to initiate them?

• Is there collaboration among public and private schools, community businesses, local government, and the police force to develop and enforce policies about youth alcohol use?
